SB-6750 SurfacePRO Premium

RECOMMENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY

WARNING: SB-6750 is extremely difficult to chemically strip from the applied substrate. Multiple applications of AllStrip Sealer Stripper may be required to fully remove sealer from surface. Use product at own risk.

Preparation

TEST SEALER FIRST on a small inconspicuous area to determine suitability and if desired results are achievable with this product.  Before sealing, surface should be thoroughly cleaned and prepared with Surebond Cleaners. For spot cleaning, use S.R.B. and/or Oil Extractor before cleaning the surface overall with SureClean.  Use Efflo Off for efflorescence cleaning and SureStrip to remove previously applied sealer, other than SB-6750.  Remove and kill any mold, mildew, fungus or algae. For joint stabilization in existing surfaces, old joint sand should be removed to a minimum depth of 1” from the top of surface. Thoroughly rinse all cleaner residue from the surface. For applications without joint stabilization, SB-6750 can be applied to a damp surface with NO ponding or pooling of water present. For applications with joint stabilization, allow the surface to dry before sealer application.

 Joint Sand Installation: Surface must be dry for ease of installation. Paver joints should be no more than ¾” wide and filled with ASTM C144 joint sand. Vibrate surface with vibratory roller or compactor after sweeping sand into joints to minimize air voids. Sand level should not exceed the bottom of the chamfer edge or 1/8” down from the top on non-chamfered surfaces. Do not use wet joint sand because it will severely diminish joint stabilization.

 Prior to sealing: Use a leaf blower to remove dust, debris and fine sand particles from the surface. Cover/protect nearby landscape, vehicles, and buildings from overspray during application.

Full Kit Mixing Instructions

SB-6750 is a two-part product that comes packaged in a kit which contains one five gallon pail with 4 gallons of Part A and 1 gallon of Part B.

Tools Needed:

• Variable Speed Drill
• Paddle Mixer

Mixing Instructions:

Blend the container of Part B into the pail of Part A with a drill and paddle mixer on low speed for 1-2 minutes. Do not whip air into the mixture.

Pot Life: SB-6750 Mixture (combined Parts A and B) has a pot life of 90 minutes which varies based on temperature and humidity. Do not mix more material than can be used in a 90 minute period. Do not store SB-6750 Mixture. If less than the entire kit is needed, see Project Calculator for more information.

SB-6750 Dilution Instructions

Before application, the SB-6750 Mixture must be diluted with water following one of two recommended dilution rates:  D1 or D2. Choose the dilution rate that will produce the desired level of joint stabilization, enhancement and sheen. When applying the recommended two coats, the dilution rate of each coat can be the same or different based on the desired outcome. See chart below to assist in selecting the appropriate dilution for the project. The use of any dilution rate other than D1 or D2 is not recommended.

Tools Needed:
• Variable Speed Drill
• Paddle Mixer
• One or Two Additional Clean Five Gallon Pails (Quantity varies based on desired dilution.)

1:1 Dilution Ratio (D1):

Suitable on all surfaces to create a gloss sheen with optimal joint sand stabilization.

Yields 10 gallons of ready to use SB-6750.

Full Kit D1 Dilution Instructions:

1. Before diluting, use the SB-6750 Marking Label as a guide (found on Part A pail), mark D1 on one empty five gallon pail.
2. Pour approximately half of the SB-6750 Mixture into the empty pail. Contents of both pails should be at the D1 line.
3. Fill each pail to the top rib (1.5″ down from the top of pail) with water.
4. Using a drill with paddle mixer, mix on low speed for 1 – 2 minutes. Do not whip air into the dilution.

2:1 Dilution Ratio (D2):

Suitable on all surfaces to create a satin/semi-gloss sheen with great joint sand stabilization.

Yields 15 gallons of ready to use SB-6750.

Full Kit D2 Dilution Instructions:

1. Before diluting, use the SB-6750 Marking Label as a guide (found on Part A pail), mark D2 on two empty five gallon pails.
2. Pour approximately a third of the SB-6750 Mixture into each of the empty pails up to the D2 line. Contents of all three pails should be at the D1
3. Fill each pail to the top rib (1.5″ down from the top of pail) with water.
4. Using a drill with paddle mixer, mix on low speed for 1 – 2 minutes. Do not whip air into the dilution.

Application

Apply when day and night temperatures are between 40°F – 95°F. Maximum surface temperature should not exceed 120°F. To cool hot surfaces, mist with water without ponding or pooling prior to applying SB-6750.  Avoid windy conditions to keep sealer spray from drifting. SB-6750 is a two part product: read and follow the Mixing and Diluting Instructions before applying. Use product coverage calculators to determine the amount of material required for the project; material coverage will depend on the surface type and its porosity. Excessive applications may decrease breathability and/or cause surface to become slippery. Some surfaces, such as travertine, pool decks and very smooth substrates, may require an anti-slip additive to increase friction. On large projects, it may be necessary to work in smaller more manageable sections.

Application Tools:  low pressure high volume sprayer, slit foam roller, foam squeegee for joint stabilization

Spray & Back Roll Application (no joint sand stabilization):  Use coverage rate for sealing without joint stabilization.  Hold sprayer nozzle perpendicular to the surface, spray and overlap each spray pass. Saturate the surface to ensure proper coverage. Do not apply too thick to avoid air bubbles in the sealer film. Before sealer dries, back roll surface with a foam roller to eliminate any pooling and to even out the sealer.  For optimal performance a second application should be applied. Second coat should be applied as soon as practical after the first application has visually cleared and is dry to the touch, which is usually within one hour. Second application must be applied prior to full cure (see Dry Time for more information). With interior applications, SB-6750 may be carefully sprayed or applied with a slit foam roller taking care not to roll back and forth excessively.

Flood Coat & Squeegee Application for Joint Stabilization: Use coverage rate for sealing with joint stabilization. Liberally spray sealer to flood surface and joints ensuring proper sand penetration for stabilization. Saturate the surface to ensure proper coverage. Do not apply too thick to avoid air bubbles in the sealer film. Use a foam squeegee to direct excess sealer into joints. On an uneven surface, it is recommended to then back roll with a slit foam roller to even out the sealer and eliminate pooling. For optimal performance a second application should be applied. Second coat should be applied as soon as practical after the first application has visually cleared and is dry to the touch, which is usually within one hour. Second application must be applied prior to full cure (see Dry Time for more information).

NOTE: To minimize slipperiness on travertine, pool decks and very smooth surfaces, use an anti-slip additive with both D1 and D2 applications.

Dry Time

Surface will be dry to the touch within 1 – 2 hours assuming 65 – 85°F at 50% relative humidity. Low surface or air temperature and or high relative humidity will extend dry times. Protect the surface from dust, rain, condensation and traffic while drying. Full cure will take 24 – 36 hours depending on weather and site conditions. After surface has visually cleared and is dried to the touch, area can be open to foot traffic in 24 hours and vehicular traffic in 48 hours depending on weather and site conditions.

Clean Up

For tools and equipment, clean with soap and water before product is allowed to dry.
